Hand of a Clock

28 years of life 
I've experienced life and death 
Contemplated suicide 
Thought about how it would feel to take my last breath

On my death bed 
Eyes turning from brown to black 
My visions are blurry 
On the verge of having another panic attack 

I didn't realize what I could be 
Couldn't diagnose my own mental state 
Couldn't escape my own insecurities 
Cried because I was too scared to face my own fate 

I fell into the bottom of the lake 
Buried by rock after rock 
My worst fears became a reality 
Moving slowly like the hands of a clock 

Tears poured down when I saw the expression on her face 
Grabbing my hands and pulling me in 
It was like the pain had been sucked out of me 
Knowing I could turn to her if I felt this way again

We prayed together 
Prayed to God with love 
Prayed for a second chance 
Knowing our loved ones will continue to look down on us from above

Rickety Boat

In the pit of my stomach I feel weak 
So distant I can hardly sleep 
Walking blind on a busy street 

Emotions constantly changing on the inside 
I'm up then I'm down 
Not myself when you're around 

Distractions getting in the way 
Burying inside everything I've wanted to say 

Sinking struggling to stay afloat 
Can't stand still on this rickety boat 

Yet I find myself in pursuit of happiness 
Gaining perspective and knowledge 
Becoming easier to relax with no stress 

Dark moments eventually bring prosperity 
Through the light of Christ 
I see great times ahead of me 

To live each moment is truly a gift 
Letting go of the doubts I'm ready to shift 

To our king who saved us from sin 
I lift my hands to you to thank you again

Evil Intent

You try to kick me when I am already down 
Anything to get under my skin 
You continue to push my limits 
Leaving me questioning your motives again and again 

The Bible states to love thy neighbor 
I struggle to find a peaceful place 
You continue to push my limits 
Knowing there is an evil intent hidden behind the smile on your face 

It feels good when others feel the same 
They know how I feel inside 
You continue to push my limits 
Knowing you're one of those people who struggle with their pride 

I will continue to pray for you 
Knowing that's the best thing I can do 
You continue to push my limits 
Maybe you'll feel the same way when it happens to you

Prayer 4

Sudden memory lapse 
Satan continues to set traps 
Eyes blurry like I have cataracs 

Every time I climb up
Back down I fall
Thinking too far ahead 
Trying not to make a judgment call

Not sure if I will be alright 
I thought about suicide again last night 
I see hope ahead but Satan blocks out the light

Holding a gun up to my head 
I'm not sure what I'll do 
I'm selfish and don't think about what others would go through 

I want to pass on so I can view the afterlife 
I can't go on living in strife 
I know it's bad when I'm cutting myself with a knife 

Demon's circling around me like a hawk 
Feelng like I have a key but I can't pick the lock  

It's scary when depression becomes an obsession 
Many people love me but at times I feel alone 
I have everything I need but I can't pick up the phone
